This. In all fields or work there will be misinformed or just plain lazy employees who don't want to take ownership of doing their job for fear of liability. We'd hope that with each incident an uneducated/unsure employee will walk away that much smarter, more knowledgeable and able to do their job. Know your shit... it's really that easy.

Rifle Scopes UPS will not ship a scope
- Thread starter Jeremiah
- Start date
Bullshit. I've shipped entire fucking rifles and shotguns via UPS, both to gunsmiths and to FFLs for transfer to a buyer, without a single incident.
I don't need any phone number from you. I know what I'm doing and I can tell you do not.
Sorry u feel this way I'm not sure why you r upset. And I am talking about a Ups store. Not a Ups hub. Totally different. A 3rd party store cannot ship title 1 firearms. Sorry you r fired up have a great night sir.
LMT sent me an RMA to check out a rifle I was having issues with.
I packed up my MWS.
Brought it to UPS.
The guy behind the counter asked if it was a gun.
I told him it was a rifle.
He said "Good we will expedite it with signatures the whole way"
Put my rifle on the conveyor than UPS returned it about a week later.

Sorry 3 party ups stores r not supposed to ship title 1 firearms.
This is the rule from: guy who doesnt know what he is doing. Cartridges, small arms are not accepted for shipment via UPS Drop Boxes, and may not be tendered to or dropped off at locations of The UPS Store® or any third party retailer or UPS Access Point™ location
I live in CA. When I ship a scope and they ask me what it is, it’s a telescope. When I ship a... let’s say upper receiver... I tell them it’s a steel tube wrapped in aluminum. 
Yeah I was the fool for not boxing it up and just saying that. I receive suppressors from Ups but not knowing the store is different from a hub well guess joke was on me lolI live in CA.

Could be I will use a different outlet done deal I like to hear all the different stories it's crazy how different 3rd party stores act differently then another 3rd party store some are cool with ot and some r not
Just tell them you are shipping an optic for a government backed wildlife research project.
Optic=Hunting Rifle Scope
Government Backed=Hunting License
Wildlife Research Project= What taste better a Buck or a Doe?

Well when I spoke with ups store corporate she told I could ship it if it were a paint ball scope. So I said ok then I will just tell the ups store its paint ball scope she said well if u miss classify the scope we can confiscate it. I could not believe it I started laughing and ask how would u know
This topic has been beat to death many times. Geez!
How did they know what you were shipping?
3rd party stores are not UPS. I have shipped complete rifles to an FFL through UPS but not at a 3rd party store.
I couldn't believe I was speaking to a Customer service representative. A big waste of time should have just walked away and went down the road.
Yeah so I have suppressors come to me from ups so me being unaware that 3rd parties r different I walk into the store scope in hand not thinking anything of it
Just found out a week ago even if u have a ffl a 3rd party is not supposed to ship title 1 firearms I told the representatives at the 3rd party store I will b glad to provide my ffl/sot and they said 3rd parties cannot ship anything gun related. But that is only half true they r just not supposed to ship title 1 firearms.
Now you know...Those third party stores are convenient but are a PITA
I had the same experience as the OP. UPS store wouldn't ship a scope because it was "a gun part". Post office had no issue with it though!
I also posted a scope and mount on ebay this week and it was rejected because I used the words "AR style" in describling the mount. Dumb dumb dumb.

I shipped my Deviant action from the local UPS store (in San Francisco) back to Bugholes after doing the DROS at my LGS. When they asked me what it was, I told them. They said they couldn’t ship it. I then said, “I’m sorry, that was a mistake. It’s a pecisely machined and polished piece of stainless steel“, and they shipped it.
Nice how do you like that action saw them at shot 2018 one of the nicest actions I have messed with.
Some asshole from UPS keeps stealing my powder and primer shipments, it always makes it to one certain stop and then disappears, probably some damn liberal terrorist. Luckily Midsouth shooters supply resends without any hassles.

Tell me you can give UPS a heads up. It is a fucking thief and not some stupid liberal.
I tried, but they just brush me off with "All delivery issues must be reported by the shipper", hopefully Midsouth is tired of filing claims and has complained to their corporate office. That being said if UPS has to keep paying for these shipments going missing at the same depot i'm almost certain they will look into it, I know they have to have a loss prevention department.
The fact that third party stores can make up any rules about firearms seems to me to be grounds for a lawsuit (14th Amendment, equal protection clause for the 2nd Amendment). Just saying, a lawsuit against a single third party store would probably change all the 3rd party store's stances. You can't/shouldn't be able to discriminate providing a service to someone specifically because you don't like what they're shipping.
I just like how many times this guy is quoting and arguing/correcting himself...

The level of stupid I'm seeing this morning on anything remotely technical tells me we are truly glue sniffing fucked up.
Every vender I've ever bought a scope from shipped UPS,
Yes they can ship from hub in or out just not the 3rd party stores and even then it is up to the store and if u say it's something else well then they will not know
This is the funniest post padding thread I have ever seen. He has close to 60 posts in the same thread, most of which he is answering or arguing with himself ?.
Why should I tell you what post padding is?
